Hello,
Client has retained profits in a UK trading company and intends to use approximately £250,000 to fund renovation of an overseas residential property that will be let.
I am reviewing the UK tax implications only and considering the most appropriate structure, including:

  • Extraction via dividends and personal ownership
  • Establishing a separate UK Property SPV
  • Funding through an existing trading company
  • Use of shareholder loan vs share capital

I would welcome practical insights on:
  • Corporation tax treatment of overseas rental income
  • Impact on trading status where property activity is introduced
  • Any common structuring considerations or risks under UK tax law
Many thanks.

    My mind is boggled

    You have a client with significant sums of money
    You do not have the expertise to deal with this
    You resort to an internet forum for advice

    I can probably recommend an accountant who can advise if you don't find one on here. Feel free to dm me.
